Profane Existence

Profane Existance

Profane Existence(Mostly referred to by those who know of it as 'P.E.') is an anarcho-syndicalist collective, known mostly for the zine of the same name it publishes on a "seasonal" basis 8 times a year(meaning there is a spring-summer issue, a summer-fall issue, a fall-winter issue and so on); and the Blackened record label and distro that deals mostly with anarcho-punk, hardcore punk and straight edge thrash metal. The collective is based in Minneapolis, USA.

The Profane Existence may have begun in December 1989(at least that is the date of release on their first issue, if anyone knows more please edit the date) and is part of the north american anarcho-punk movement. In fact, many correctly credit them with being a major force in promoting anarchist punk/hardcore/metal bands, setting up venues and forming labels that print vinyl DIY records. The magazines deal with many issues relevant to anarchist punk rockers, such as veganism, animal, women and minority rights,
